Description
Begin by pedaling up Chamisoso Road. Follow the road (ignoring where 462 breaks off to the right). The Coyote Trail departs the road on the right side just before a gate. The Coyote Trail us usually well signed, but there are some confusing intersections to bring a map. It's easy to get kinda lost but hard to get totally lost as you're never far from a view of the Sandias to the North and Cedro Peak to the South. The Coyote Trail climbs and descends thorugh rocky pinion forest for about 5 miles before arriving at "four corners (the intersection of Coyote Trail and 462)." This makes a good out-and-back or a better return leg after climbing up 462.

Review: Fairly easy trail to climb, but is a blast down hill.
Review: Coyote is my favorite trail in the Cedro area. Lots of great options with any trail you choose, but I've had the most fun on coyote. It's a fun climb, with some technical stuff that will make you work, but it's even more fun to ride downhill.

Review: Great ride with good variety. I thought I had started out going Counter-Clockwise until I noticed i was ascending west, and then came into the Jeep road. I turned around and enjoyed the sweet downhill. Some steep n' gnarly stuff with some whoopty-doo's - great ride.

Review: This is a nice route to add some variety if you're tired of Otero. Coyote Trail is a nice out and back, but I like it better as a return leg after climbinb FS462. I don't generally recommend jeep roads, but 462 climbs at a good grade and has lots of rock slabs on the way up--just change the color of the rock and it would have a Moab feel to it. As I said in the ride descriptions, there are a few opportunities to go off course, so bring a map (or a local). Either that or be ready to spend time exploring and route finding--bring plenty of water.
